1970s This paper examines the shortlived success of the "Sunday Australian" as a quality newspaper, in the context of changing readership expectations in both Australia and Great Britain and in relation to the success of new British publications like the "Sunday Times." This study offers a valuable snapshot of News Ltd.'s expansionist strategies during the early 1970s, not least its Sydney-based competition with the established Fairfax Group Ltd. As a national daily newspaper rather than a state-based publication in an industry dominated by the latter, the "Sunday Australian" promised a wider view of politics, foreign affairs and the arts but faltered in the mid-1960's amid rumor of its impending closure. Struggling for circulation with daily sales falling as low as 60,000 the weekday Australian had relocated to Sydney, where Rupert Murdoch had already purchased the ailing "DailyMirror" and local Cumberland newspapers. The launch of the "Sunday Australian" amid a blitz of promotion in Sydney was designed to build on the inroads made by the daily Australian. Importantly for Murdoch in the 1970s, the success of the "Sunday Australian" promised to increase his standing in political and investment circles, while simultaneously encroaching on Fairfax's circulations and advertising revenue. 13688804Ř÷ř ?

teaching» The author reflects on the concept of Australian media studies and the role of platypus in the academic programs. She suggests that the platypus might make a good mascot for Australian media studies since the trend of the programs in the country has evolved out of an unruly array of disciplines and agendas. She also notes that the results of the media studies research are not always perfect due to a disparate array of cultures. 15274764 Television & New Media ŚŘ÷ř ?

1980sÂ Previous studies investigating media coverage of sport in Australia during normal programming indicate that women's sport receives less than 10 percent of the air-time given to men's. This study of the Australian television coverage of the 1980 and 1984 Summer Olympics found that female events received 32.9 percent and 27.7 percent, respectively, of the Games televised. While it is unfortunate that this is the exception, rather than the rule, it may provide a key to breaking existing patterns of sports programming and thus reduce gender inequities by demonstrating that during the Olympics female sports rank highly in terms of viewer popularity as well as in terms of increased air-time. 10126902 ▀Ř■ ?
